Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomWe weren’t particularly blown away by the food, though. It was tasty but just too overstated. That was a general observation.
It’s been the second time we come here for a girls night. There were 8 people in our group this time. We all loved our rooms, surrounding area, and spa facilities. The staff were ever so friendly! Easy access, plenty of parking. Best spa hotel in the area in terms of value and great quality!! I’d definitely come back again.

United KingdomGreat views of the countryside and the golf course. Floor to ceiling glass in the spa allowed you to see the view from the jacuzzi and the pool is bigger than the pictures show. The staff were always friendly and very helpful with a big thanks to Ivan at the bar for looking after us. This also applies to the golf pro shop and Tony who was very accommodating in finding us tee times as non-members. We were on the third floor and no issues with noise - slept very soundly.

United KingdomThe restaurant seemed understaffed. The menu was great but we had to wait a while between courses and the food wasn't hot. It also took a while to flag staff down to order drinks.
Lovely hotel. Very friendly staff. A short walk from Bowood House and Gardens.

Hotel very comfortable - beautiful dining room and grounds and fab swimming pool/spa and relaxation area. We loved visiting Bowood House nearby - we walked there and were picked up in the hotel buggy at the end - it was all great!

United KingdomWe did have dinner on a Saturday so we appreciate it was very busy, but service was slightly slow - maybe they could do with a couple more waiters on busy nights? We did however have a lovely meal and after all we were in no rush!
So much is included in the overnight stay- bowood house & Gardens, woodland Gardens, spa, golf and breakfast. Our room was perfect, very comfortable- we were lucky with the weather and enjoyed drinks in the sunshine overlooking the golf course.

United KingdomNothing - all excellent!
I had a magnificent room at the top of the hotel looking out over grounds and golf course. Room was very well appointed and very clean and comfortable. I had an evening meal which was one of the best meals I have had in some time. Breakfast was very good following which I went to the spa for a swim and relax before my round of golf.

United KingdomDiner menu was ok, but we didn’t enjoy it enough to eat there for a second night, we opted for a pub up the road for a change.
As we were there with our very young grandchildren the hotel was very accommodating and we felt being looked after. Everyone was really lovely and friendly and we had very good time.

One of us has coeliacs disease, the kids gluten free dinner menu was limited but we worked it out and the breakfast gluten free menu was great! No issues.

United KingdomThe service in the bar was very poor and incredibly slow. We waited over 15 minutes to get a drink in a very quiet bar, I know they were serving tables in the restaurant but it was late in the day and the restaurant was nearly empty. The worst bit was were weren’t acknowledged, if we had been greated and told they would be with us as soon they could it would be fine but nothing. I only eventually got served when I grabbed a waiter and he served us while the bar man seemed to walk around in circles. It did improve when another bar man came on and he was very efficient and organised and spoke to people. We had a similar wait at dinner, we were seated and after 20 minutes I had to grab a waitress and ask if we could order drinks and food, I think we were forgotten as people coming in later than us were being served. It didn’t ruin a lovely stay but it’s just something you would expect to be a lot better. If the service had been better it would have been a 10 star review from us.
Beautiful hotel with great facilities. The spa was lovely and relaxing and the grounds beautiful
